We often don’t think of the billions of germs that are trying to invade our body.

It’s the skin’s job to keep them out.

When there is a cut, it sends teams of white blood cells to keep out the invading bacteria and heal the cut.

It is an amazing system.

The skin is not just a protector, it holds everything together.

It regulates temperature as well as how much water there is in the body.

We have a tendency to think our beauty is only skin deep, but when you realize that your skin is another organ, akin to your heart, liver or kidneys you begin to realize that it is just as important for your health as any other system.

Why we don’t spend more time thinking about skin health is a question worth pondering.
